Great location near attractions, beautiful interior design. Room lacking dresser drawers, cold temperature issue. Valet parking expensive, but staff helpful and friendly. Enjoyed nearby restaurants and courteous service. A well-kept hotel with minor improvements needed for family stays.

The staff were extremely helpful and polite, making our stay comfortable. The elegant and spacious rooms, along with the excellent dining options, added to the overall positive experience. The only downside was a minor issue with the cooling system, but it did not detract significantly from our enjoyable stay.

Lively hotel, the stay was very nice, incredible location close to the metro. Neat rooms with a really unattractive view and friendly service.

Better choose this place to visit when in Washington. The breakfast offered variety of food and was well priced. I loved the room, the bed was exceptionally comfortable. The location was ideal, for example, The World was around 10-15 minutes walk from the hotel. There was a reasonably priced restaurant, shopping malls and a market next door.

Stayed at the Riggs for a week, got a fantastic city view from the top floor corner room with 4 big windows. Indoor pool and gym were enjoyable, just a 5-minute walk to attractions. Will return for sure!
Corridors and rooms outdated.

The staff went above and beyond, making us feel welcomed from the start. The room was spacious, perfect for our furry friend. The cozy bar and upscale Cafe added to the great vibe. Thin walls were the only downside, but the exceptional service and modern amenities made up for it.

Stayed near Ford's Theater & the National Mall. Breakfast was amazing, but the view from the room could've been better. Staff were SUPERB, would stay again! Pics don't do justice. 😊

The check-in was early, the room was beautiful, the breakfast was awesome. Location : the hotel was very close to Verizon Center, museums, good restaurants. Also, the property was walking distance to a prestigious museum. Thanks for a very good stay, would recommend it.

Omg, 💖 my room at this hotel was amazing! the sitting area was perfect! but, the coffee maker was so noisy ☹️. The staff was incredible! louise & mr Penny were so helpful. Wish for a quieter stay next time!

Very good hotel, with excellent location in a very busy area.
As there is no parking, you have to rely on the valet parking. By the way, I gave him the car correctly parked with the parking ticket paid for two hours. The gentleman runs him out of there, parks another car and leaves him in a double line. When I claimed him and made him aware that he was committing a traffic violation, he told me to rest assured that there was no problem. It's an unfortunate situation, I hope that no infraction arrives, in that case I will have to take care of it, and complain to whom?

The hotel had a rad vibe, I mean just the lobby design was so cool that it made me feel like I was chilling in a fancy museum. The rooms were perfect for me and my buddies, super comfy beds and the bathroom setup was ideal for privacy. Big up to the staff who were all so friendly and helpful, especially Antonio, who went above and beyond to make our stay awesome. 🌟 The relaxation options were on point, I mean spa and massage services made the whole experience even more chill. The only small bummer was that the breakfast quality varied each day, but overall, it didn't ruin the fantastic impression I had of the place.

was delightful. Small room details needed attention but staff excelled in service, even moving rooms due to noise. Historic charm, comfy beds, and attentive staff made for a memorable visit. This former bank turned hotel is a gem. Will return!

well placed. In front of Shake Shack, around the corner from Subway, close to Madame Tussauds and exit of the tourist buses. Blocks from the White House and a short walk from the Capitol.
The TV was small.

The animals were so cool, especially the pandas. We also loved checking out the research and conservation work they do there. It was a wild time!
We wished there was a more happening nightlife scene closer to the hotel for some extra fun after our zoo adventures.

Let's talk grub - local spots like Pi Pizzeria and Shake Shack are flavor-packed gems right at your doorstep. The Marriott staff were top-notch with warm welcomes and a snack surprise. Plus, spacious rooms and a pristine pool for extra r&r.
Now, spill the tea - the room layout in 1032 felt like a puzzle game, with a bathroom setup straight out of a sitcom blooper. Plus, noisy AC and a slow luggage shuffle left a sour taste.

The Cafe's All-Day Menu & Decadent Weekend Brunch: I stumbled upon this gem after a long walk, and it felt like finding an oasis in the desert. The locally-sourced menu offered a feast fit for a king, and the weekend brunch was the kind of indulgence that could turn a simple morning into a majestic celebration.
More bathroom counter space needed.
John

Awesome spot with comfy beds and a gym that rocks; staff were top-notch. Loved unwinding in the spa and catching shows in the leisure room. Wish they'd topped up the coffee pods in the room though, and the bathroom door was a squeeze, but no biggie. Overall, a top-notch stay! ✨

The decoration in the hotel's common areas was truly elegant and charming, with beautiful antique furnishings and exquisite artwork adorning the walls. The wide corridors and well-placed seating areas made it easy for us senior folks to navigate and take a rest when needed. The hotel's accessibility features, such as handrails in the bathrooms and well-lit hallways, were thoughtful and greatly appreciated.
I would have liked to see more organized activities or tours coordinated by the children of the staff for us senior guests, helping us explore the city without too much physical strain.

I stumbled upon this hidden gem with a terrace view that left me speechless. The diversity of spaces for events and dining was impressive — especially the bar in the bank vault! The surrounding attractions were a stone's throw away, perfect for my country music-loving, road-tripping self. The history and charm of the area truly made this stay unforgettable. And let's not forget 'Martini Mondays'—a definite highlight for this European soul.

We had an excellent experience at this hotel. the exclusive amenities were luxurious, and we appreciated the attention to detail. the Spa & wellness centre offered a variety of massage treatments that we thoroughly enjoyed. the swimming pool was clean and the perfect temperature. the Restaurant was impressive and exceeded our expectations. We were pleased with the location advantages, everything was within a short walking distance. Cons: the only minor issue we encountered was the snack bar being closed during our stay. Otherwise, the hotel provided a great atmosphere with impeccable service.

The hotel had a great gym and pool, which was a nice way to unwind after a long day of meetings. the staff were friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with any requests. the location was convenient, with easy access to public transportation and plenty of restaurants nearby.
The room was a bit outdated and could use some renovation. the Wi-Fi was slow and unreliable, which was frustrating when trying to get work done.

This delightful hotel was full of surprises. The hotel staff went above and beyond to make our honeymoon special. When they found out it was our honeymoon, they upgraded us to a corner room and even included complimentary breakfast. The rooms were clean and modern, and the location was perfect for sightseeing. We were within walking distance of the White House and other attractions. I highly recommend this hotel for a memorable stay.

The hotel's eclectic decor took me back to a bygone era, with stunning Art Nouveau and Art Deco touches that captivated me. Despite the noisy dining area, the delicious food made up for it. The staff was delightful, but the room layout felt like a jinga puzzle. Overall, a charming stay with a mix of highs and lows.

The rooftop terrace with stunning views, the soulful Cafe Riggs and the unique Silver Lyan bar in the former bank vault create a fabulous atmosphere. The location is perfect for exploring the city's monuments and museums.
Just loved hearing the super loud music from the nearby Ultrabar all night long. So relaxing!

We stayed at Riggs Washington Dc for a weekend getaway and couldn't have been happier. The location was perfect, with easy access to the national mall and convenient transportation options. The room was spacious and comfortable, complete with a microwave, coffee machine, and mini-fridge. The separate bathroom sink was a pleasant surprise, and the shower was incredibly spacious. The check-in experience was smooth, thanks to the charismatic and efficient Karen at the Front Desk. The staff was exceptional and the in-room dining was a blessing. a great concept with beautiful decor and thoughtful amenities.
Totally recommend this hotel.

We had a fantastic stay at the hotel. the location was perfect for exploring the museums and there were plenty of nearby restaurants to choose from. Our room was spacious and soundproof, with two comfortable queen beds. the staff were friendly and accommodating, quickly addressing any issues we had, like tightening some screws on the AC. We also loved the view of the National Portrait Gallery and the International Spy Museum from our room. the hotel's fitness facilities were excellent, and we particularly enjoyed the unique design of the furniture in the former bank building. the bars onsite were a great addition, with a hotel bar and a basement bar open to the public. it was a wonderful experience and we will definitely be returning.
Nothing, it was perfect! 😊

The staff at this hotel are first class, from top to bottom. They are very friendly and provide GREAT customer service. They interact very well with children and are very patient. the lobby-level brewpub serves wonderful German wheat beer. the location of the hotel is close to all the major attractions in DC, making it very convenient for sightseeing. the gym is well-equipped, allowing for a great morning workout and a complimentary breakfast spread with oatmeal and hard-boiled eggs is a nice touch.
One area that could be improved is the room amenities. It would have been nice to have more storage space for clothes that cannot be hung, like dresser drawers.

The corner suite at Riggs Washington D.C. was just what we needed. The adjoining living and dining rooms provided the perfect space to relax and enjoy the city views. The kitchenette was a great touch, making us feel right at home.
But we found the kitchenette a bit small for our liking.

The hotel's location is unbeatable, just steps away from the convention center and within walking distance of the Holocaust Museum and other major attractions. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with spacious bathrooms and cozy amenities. The staff is friendly and efficient, providing excellent service throughout the stay. The breakfast options are delicious, offering a variety of tasty dishes to start the day. Additionally, the hotel's historic building adds charm and character to the overall experience.
The television channels could have offered more variety and entertainment options.

The zoo is an incredible place where all the animals are looked after by top-notch zoologists and vets. It's not just a zoo; it's a powerhouse of research and conservation, making the visit both fun and educational for the kids.
My wife says that a dedicated kids' play area at the hotel would have been a great addition for families with children.

Located in an old bank building that has been beautifully restored, this hotel offers a great location just a few blocks north of the Mall. It's near to the Metro and also close to many attractions, including the Smithsonian museums. The rooms are comfortable and clean with everything you need, and the staff is friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet is ample and delicious.
The valet parking can be quite expensive and is the only option for those who need in-and-out privileges.

The hotel had a beautiful design, with a unique theme carried throughout. the room, although small, had everything we needed. the bathroom was a highlight, with a walk-in shower that was the best. the location was perfect, allowing us to walk to all the sights in the city.
The bathroom accommodations were not well thought out, making it difficult to use the toilet. the lighting in the bathroom was clearly not designed with makeup application in mind.

Convenient location in downtown DC - close to several Metro stations with beautiful decor and spacious rooms. Excellent customer service, daily check-ins, and quick maintenance response. Walking distance to key landmarks and museums, including the Smithsonian museums. Good dining options nearby with Cafe Riggs offering a delightful meal. The hotel's cocktail bar in the old bank vault was a unique and enjoyable experience. The gym was well-equipped and not crowded, providing a relaxing space for leisure. The proximity to iconic landmarks like the National Gallery of Art and The White House allowed for memorable family bonding experiences. The overall quality and location of the hotel surpassed expectations, contributing to a lovely stay and making it easy to explore the city with my granddaughter.

We loved the excellent check-in staff and efficient service. The rooms were clean, beds comfortable, and the location was perfect for us. We were able to walk to the National Mall, monuments, and even the White House with ease. Plus, having Shake Shack across the street was convenient for quick dining. The reasonable security deposit was also a bonus. We would highly recommend this hotel for visitors interested in exploring Washington's tourism.
We felt completely happy with our stay, no complaints.
